❎Common mistake!❎
✨I tried to explain him the problem, but he had difficulty understanding me.❎
✨I tried to explain the problem to him, but he had difficulty understanding me.✅
🔴 Explanation:
Some verbs can be followed by the indirect object and then the direct object.
For example, we ca say I gave John the book. John is the indirect object and book is the direct object.
However, not all verbs follow this pattern. Recommend, explain, and describe are three common verbs that take the following form:
recommend/explain/describe + what + to whom
🔷Examples:
🔘We explained the situation to the client.✅
🔘We explained the client the situation.❎
🔘Could you describe the problem to our IT manager?✅
🔘Could you describe our IT manager the problem?❎
